From the collection of Museo del Prado
Juana Galarza de Goicoechea is a 1805 unspecified by Francisco Goya, held at Museo del Prado.
The painting shows a woman in a white dress and head covering, with a gold necklace. She is looking to the right, and her face is painted in a realistic style. The woman's head covering is tied under her chin, and her dress has a high neckline. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman stand out. The painting is framed in a gold circle, which adds to its elegance. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. This technique is characteristic of many of Goya's works, and it adds to the overall mood of the painting.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
